Sequence of servicing: 65 → 67 → 98 → 122 → 124 → (reverses) → 37 → 14. 3. After servicing 65, the next request in the upward direction is 67. Why Other Options Are Incorrect: • B) 14 & C) 37: These are serviced after the head reverses direction. • D) 98 & E) 122: These are serviced later in the upward direction, but after 67.
